Developer Productivity Is Best Measured by Iteration Feedback Speed
“I think the best way to measure developer productivity is, like, in terms of the feedback loops. Like, it, like, in, like, How quickly when you iterate, like when you write code, like how quickly can you get feedback? And at the innermost loop, it's like runni…”
